Potential buyers of real estate often wonder what type of housing is more profitable to buy - secondary, that is, used, or in new buildings. Let's try to answer this question by talking about the advantages of housing in the first and second cases.
Let's start with new buildings. New housing, which is being built at an active pace in any large city, does not just attract the attention of buyers. Houses are being built using new technologies, using materials that were not even heard of twenty years ago. New buildings look modern and stylish, the decoration of entrances and apartments of such houses also outperforms the interior of secondary housing.
We add that the cost per square meter in newly built properties may be lower than the average in the secondary housing market. In addition, a number of specialized agencies, like Etazhi, have their own contracts with developers, which enable them to offer apartments at almost cost. Finally, new buildings, as a rule, are erected in promising areas with developed or developing infrastructure.
Of course, all the advantages of buying apartments in new buildings are offered only by good developers who hand over objects on time, connect communications on time, carry out all stages of work and finishing with high quality. Cooperation with unscrupulous companies can cause financial spending and the purchase of an apartment in the so-called "long-term construction". We recommend that you consult a professional realtor.
What are the advantages of secondary housing? Let's imagine that you are interested in an apartment in Vologda from the owner. If you visit newly built properties, you will see that developers are renting out apartments with a minimum or even a rough finish. This means that after buying an apartment, which is likely to be cheaper than a secondary property, you will have to invest a certain amount of money in repairs. Repairs may also be required in the case of buying a secondary property, however, not on such a scale.
Despite the fact that new buildings in Vologda can be built not only in residential areas and on the outskirts, for the most part only secondary housing is available in the city center. Finally, when considering the option of buying an apartment from a private owner, you can find out in advance which neighbors you will have to live with, how the adjacent territory is arranged, how communications work, and so on. Do not write off the possibility of bargaining. Nevertheless, buying an apartment from a private owner has pitfalls - you should definitely check the legal cleanliness of the apartment, the presence of hidden owners, the full and irrevocable transfer of property rights upon purchase, and even better - contact specialists for support of the transaction.
